“Ruth is super responsive and very friendly with your babies! I had a last minute drop in I only had two hours to find someone and she was very fast at responding and helped me out in a pinch. Our original schedule was for 6 visits and she squeezed in the 7th for us last minute! Life saver!”

About: We have 5 animals in the house, we’ve had them since they were puppies and all get along and friendly towards other people and animals. I work from home and take the pups out 5 times a day. Can take them out more if a pup has a weaker bladder. I usually take mine out at the same time but have enough time in the day to take your pup out individually. Everyone really lounges at home while I work or go out but my boy loves to play so we have best of both worlds and doggie beds all over the house if they’re tired or can play in the back yard.
“Savannah is heaven sent! This was my first time leaving Dino under the care of a new friend. We had an amazing experience. Savannah is detail oriented, responsible, caring and genuinely has a huge heart for pets. I am grateful Dino was under excellent care!”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, especially with shy or nervous pets. I take things slow and let them come to me so they always feel safe and comfortable. I’ve been pet sitting for friends for the past 7 years, caring for both cats and dogs with all different personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was a kid and even went/took horseback riding lessons once a week. Since my mom was scared of dogs, I wasn’t able to have one as a child, so I poured all my love into caring for my friends pets whenever I could - playing with them, cuddling them, and giving them the attention they needed. Now I have a dog and I used to have a cat of my own, and both require daily medication, so I’m experienced with giving pets medicine safely and gently. I genuinely love creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels understood and cared for. I work from home two days a week. My office hours are 8am-5pm. My partner also works a lot from home so your pet won’t be home alone very often. I’m available for boarding during the week (as long as your pet is used to a similar schedule) and weekends. I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and cozy space. I have a fenced yard and a nice neighborhood for walks. My friendly dog will keep your pup company. Your fur baby is welcome on all our furniture, just like my dog. If needed, I can easily crate your pet or let them stay loose. Whatever makes them and/or you feel most comfortable.
About: About Me With 16 years of experience as a professional dog groomer, I specialize in delivering high-quality grooming services that combine skill, care, and attention to detail. My background as a veterinary technician has given me a deep understanding of animal health and behavior, ensuring each grooming session is both safe and stress-free. In addition to my pet care expertise, I bring years of babysitting experience, highlighting my commitment to providing compassionate, reliable care for both pets and families. Pet care isn’t just part of my schedule – it’s built into my lifestyle. With 16 years in grooming, a background in veterinary care, and years of babysitting experience, I’ve learned to balance time while keeping quality at the center of everything I do. I prioritize organization, clear communication, and flexible scheduling to ensure every pet (and family) receives the attention they deserve, without compromise. In My Home: I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, grooming care, and any special instructions from their owners. Safety and comfort come first, ensuring every pet feels at home while staying with me. In a Client’s Home: I respect the familiar environment that helps pets feel secure. I follow the same level of care—feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and grooming—while keeping their routine consistent. I also maintain the home’s cleanliness and security to give owners peace of mind.

About: Hey, I get it! leaving your dog with someone else can feel scary. As a dog owner myself, for my whole life, I would be picky too. Dogs are family, and you deserve to feel sure that your pup is safe, loved, and cared for. My dogs get love and attention every day, and I would treat your dog like one of my own. I pay attention to body language, energy, and behavior because I believe a happy dog is a calm and comfortable dog. Whether your pup loves to play, needs space, or just wants a calm presence nearby, I’ll respect their personality and routine. My goal is to make them feel safe, relaxed, and part of my family while they’re with me. I am currently studying to become a teacher and looking for part-time opportunities in education, so I have a very flexible schedule right now. This gives me plenty of time to care for pets, go on walks, play with them, and give them attention throughout the day. I am generally available during the week and on weekends, and I can adjust depending on your pet’s routine and needs. I know how important consistency is for dogs, so I always try to follow their usual schedule for walks, meals, potty breaks, and rest time as closely as possible. I live in a spacious home with a fenced yard, where dogs have room to move, relax, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. I have four dogs of my own: two Golden Retrievers, one mixed-breed dog, and one Pekingese. They are loving, friendly, and not aggressive. Like many dogs, they may feel a little curious or anxious at first when meeting a new dog, so I always believe in slow introductions, patience, and supervision. Our daily routine includes opening the yard in the morning for potty time, short walks around the neighborhood, playtime, fresh water, meals, and lots of love. My dogs are used to regular walks, sometimes up to an hour, so I am comfortable caring for active dogs as well. I always focus on safety, calm energy, and making every pet feel respected and cared for.

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’ve been providing pet care since November of last year and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Skills & Experience: Large Dog Handling: Comfortable walking dogs up to 80 lbs with a calm and controlled approach. For safety, I do ask that larger dogs are fully trained and well-behaved on leash. Time Management & Organization: Experienced in caring for multiple dogs at once while making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Routine-Based Care: I stick closely to each pet’s routine to help them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. Reliability & Attention to Detail: I’m dependable and attentive, always paying close attention to a pet’s behavior and needs. Exercise & Engagement: I provide structured 30-minute walks and make sure each visit includes both care and positive interaction. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect; making sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away, and giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently an online student so i have a very flexible schedule! Im available in the mornings, earliest 10am, and the latest at 8pm. I take both pet safety and respect for your home very seriously. I always follow any instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and household preferences. I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secure at all times, and I’m careful during walks and visits to keep pets safe and under control. In your home, I aim to be as respectful and tidy as possible; cleaning up after pets, keeping their areas neat, and leaving everything just as I found it. I also understand the importance of trust, so I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates so you feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, calm environment for your pets while also giving you peace of mind knowing your home and pets are being well cared for.
“Gia was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. She was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was incredibly helpful having someone so reliable and responsible to dog sit, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable with her. Gia kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated dog sitter.”

“Cameron took wonderful care of our 3 cats while we were out of town. She went out of her way to find one of them who always hides, just to make sure she was ok. She gave us lots of updates with pictures too. Would definitely use Cameron again!”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life. My dog now gets walked 1-2 miles almost everyday. I also walk 4 miles about 5 times a week on my own for exercise, so I’m willing to walk short or long distances for your dogs. I have watched my neighbors’ and family members’ dogs multiple times, meaning I have experience with walking up to 4 dogs at a time! I’ve been a stay at home mom for the last 10 years, but I’m a recent empty nester looking to help others with their busy lives. I’m flexible throughout the week to walk dogs and can’t wait to get to know them! I know I am trustworthy with your dogs because my dog is well-cared for with a spacious backyard, daily walks, regular grooming, clean/filled water bowls, is always well-fed, and gets treats with tricks!
About: I have had one dog in the past. Her name is Gigi and she is a golden doodle. She is an extremely active dog who keeps me active 24/7. She loves to cuddle and play and is so caring with people and other animals. The most unique characteristic about Gigi is that she has been obedient since the day we got her. Her training was so simple and easy to do. Training her was so easygoing that I learned enough to train my best friends dog Mia. I think having such a sweet puppy like Gigi made it even more fun to care and train for dogs. I trained Gigi and Mia to be able to remain calm in stressful/overstimulating moments, they are both well skilled in recognizing hand and verbal signals. Both are well behaved when hey are not wearing a leash and also very well in controlling impulsive behavior. At this time Gigi is staying with my brother who recently moved to the Coral Gables location so I still see her regularly. I currently work full time so I am available in the afternoons. I am off by 5pm. I am available every weekend, all day. I do plan on having a more flexible schedule in the next 2 months. I personally do not have any pets at the moment. I have had 1 pet in the past and have been trusted by a few friends to care after their pets. I always ask the owner the basic information I need regarding their pets and do my best to ensure a fun and safe environment for all animals!
About: I live, breath, and think of animals. My future career is a veterinarian and this will help me as I proceed in Veterinary Assisting. I've always had a dog in my life and I've grown up learning new ways to train my dogs and new ways to to keep them active. I have two pets of my own, the first is a Amstaff Terrier and the second is a Great Dane. I enjoy adding my pets into my exercise routine because I know this is the pets exercise time as well. I love to buy pet toys and present them as a gift to my own pet which makes them excited easy to play. Hopefully I can be that fun factor to your sweet and loving pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Princeton
Nina was awesome! This was my first time leaving my pets with anyone while my family and I were away on vacation, and she made the entire experience stress-free. My dogs don’t get along with just anyone, they’re very high-energy, but from the moment they met Nina, they instantly connected with her. That gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Nina was extremely attentive and detail-oriented. She sent photos during every check-in, kept us updated throughout the whole process, and even provided photo proof that the house was secure. She also cleaned up any messes, brought in packages that were left outside, and truly went above and beyond what was asked of her. I will definitely book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! too!

Lourdes was a phenomenal caretaker and went above and beyond for our Laika. She’s meticulous on instructions, communicates well, provides several photos everyday and takes her time to walk Laika. I strongly recommend her! You won’t regret it! We will definitely be using her services again.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Princeton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Princeton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
